"Gay Ang Lee" (w/ Adam Shankman)

That film's director, the incredible Adam Shankman, joins Matt + Bowen today to discuss the new movie, and his indelible contributions to cinema: movies like Hairspray, A Walk To Remember, The Wedding Planner and so much more. Also, Adam discusses The Sound of Music as his formative culture, and explains (for the very first time) its link to a traumatic time in his young life when he was put into conversion therapy. All this, Bowen's parasocial attachment to Adam going way back to the A Walk To Remember DVD commentary, comedy's very necessary cinematic resurgence, the blossoming of Jon M. Chu, the reckoning facing Steve Spielberg on STD Day, and finally an answer to the question, "can you talk to someone with wet hair?" Stop! That! Train! and Listen! To! Las Cultch! Adam is the greatest <3See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
